"Trump is really good about asserting his own reality ... but Americans aren't going to buy it if things don't change and change soon. And even if they do improve, the higher prices are going to remain for a while," said @jonlemire.bsky.social.

Where are we in U.S.–Canada relations? "Well, if Donald Trump gets his way, there will be no border. It'll be another part of the United States," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.

"He has been obsessed with the idea of tariffs forever," said @eugenedaniels2.bsky.social. "Donald Trump truly believes that this is a way to do economics. I mean, you look at his kind of economic plan, this is kind of it."
"China today is a pure military and economic rival of the United States," said @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social. "These are serious people. When 1.3 billion serious people are focused on economic growth and military development, the idea that we alone can take them on is utter nonsense."
"Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, has a pretty realistic view of [the Iran war]. He told them from the beginning it wouldn't be as easy as the president said it was," said @peterbakernyt.bsky.social.
"In terms of the economic piece of this, there is a real awareness that this is a big political, a domestic political problem staring them in the face, that even if, let's say, the war wraps up next week, this is not going to be solved economically immediately," said @michellelprice.bsky.social.
What was the rationale behind Trump's Wednesday night speech? @jonathankarl.bsky.social: "He's taken a lot of heat for the state of the economy. He sees it. He reads the polls' numbers. He watches the news coverage. He's upset about it, so he thought he could go out there and kind of undo it."
@thomaslfriedman.bsky.social tells moderator @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social that, in this age of rapid migration, both around the world and in America, “people’s sense of home, cultural norms, and work all got disrupted at the same time,” leaving people feeling unrooted.
"In January of 2016, [Stephen] Miller was one of the very first people to leave Jeff Sessions' office and go to [Trump's] campaign," said @lacaldwelldc.bsky.social. "But Jeff Sessions, a month later, was the very first person — the first senator — to endorse Donald Trump."
"[Trump] came in as an America First president, that he wasn’t going to get involved in international affairs. I think the shock is not that he has so many different ideas, but that it's so at odds with what he promised the administration would be,” said @nancyayoussef.bsky.social.
What is your analysis of the Iran deal that's taking shape? "That this was a war of choice and it's a peace of necessity," said David Ignatius. "Both sides are exhausted. ... It's been time to make peace, but it's been difficult to get there."
President Donald Trump’s handpicked board at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts voted Thursday to rename the institution the "Trump-Kennedy Center." Crews updated signage on the building's exterior less than 24 hours later on Friday.
According to a leaked memo, the DOJ is charging the IRS with going after the funders of nonprofit organizations. The news is no surprise, says @GRITLaura.bsky.social. Stay until the end of this week’s show for her commentary, and look out for the extended version on Substack: bit.ly/3MzgDDN
Deputy Presidential Office head Pavlo Palisa said Russia made manning its unmanned systems troops a priority this year but effectively failed the Q1 recruitment campaign. He said Moscow targeted technical students and graduates, but young Russians are not rushing into the army. #Russia

$60 to fill up a PRIUS in Ohio. A PRIUS. She bought a hybrid to save money and Trump’s war ate that too. Every time she gets ahead — BAM. Pulled back 7 steps. She’s trying to build a house, trying to live, and he started a war nobody asked for. #TrumpsGasFailure

You can play it safe, chase what’s “supposed” to work, follow the crowd… and still lose. So the real question becomes: if failure is always a possibility, why not pursue something that actually matters to you #Mindset #DoWhatYouLove #TakeTheRisk #GrowthMentality
In a powerful address to President von der Leyen, Valérie Hayer, leader of the European Parliament party Renew Europe, urged decisive action: a more united, sovereign, federal Europe capable of protecting its citizens. She stressed that only an institutional “big bang” can meet today’s challenges.

Ahead of the latest homelessness figures, the Taoiseach again pointed to the proportion of people from outside Ireland living in emergency accommodation. Opposition parties hit back, branding the comments a "disgrace" and arguing they distract from the wider issues. #VMNews

Isabel's furious that trans people get the same fast-track tax service as royals and MPs. Odd. She's never once been furious that royals get the same fast-track justice service as no one else. Curious priorities.

I voted “no” on the Farm Bill because it would make life more difficult for farmers and families. House Republicans have brought forward a bill that prioritizes large corporations over our nation’s producers. I remain committed to standing up for Virginia’s farmers.

Wings lead the WNBA in % of rim FG assisted at 71.95% (pbp). Sometimes it's the offball stuff. They take away the rotation help on both sides for an eventual rim FG: strongside corner lifts up, stackside flare screen draws up the other big defender, leaving no help at the rim.

Cuando escuchas "vivienda protegida" piensas en un alquiler que por fin puedes pagar. Pero la realidad es distinta. En Madrid: Un piso de 70 m2 en el Plan Vive exige ingresos mínimos de 37.000 al año. Si el salario más frecuente en España es de 15.575 €, ¿a quién está protegiendo realmente?
